Chen Yuanke had no idea that his thoughts had been heard, and his mind was still chattering non-stop.

"According to the timeline of the original book, Shen Rong died after Gu Zhaoming passed the imperial examination.

Gu Zhaoming passed the imperial examination in the seventh year of Yuanhe, and now it is only the fourth year of Yuanhe, which means there are still three years before Shen Rong may die of illness. "

Chen Yuan calmly glanced at Shen Rong's face, which was still glowing with a thin layer of powder, and couldn't help muttering in his heart, "Shen Rong doesn't look like she's going to be sick!"

Thinking of this, she became a little unconfident about her guess.

The suspicion was correct. In the previous life, Shen Rong did not die of illness, but was poisoned to death.

Shen Rong hadn't thought about her previous life for a long time. When she heard Chen Yuan mentioning her previous life in his heart, she felt a dull pain in her stomach.

I don’t know what book Chen Yuan was reading, but Shen Rong is sure that there must be some differences between the book and her actual experience, and Chen Yuan seems to have not noticed these differences yet.

Shen Rong didn't want to listen to Chen Yuan's nagging anymore, so she said, "Madam Gu, there are many ladies in the garden. I'll ask the maid to take you in first."

Upon hearing this, the maid in charge of reception in the Tea and Wine Department immediately stood up and looked at Chen Yuan with a smile.

Chen Yuan didn't want to see Shen Rong wandering around in front of her with all her jewels, so she motioned for the maid to lead the way, then turned back and said to Shen Rong, "You go and do your work. I'll go around by myself."

After Chen Yuan left with the maid, he was still thinking about whether Shen Rong would die in three years.

If Shen Rong died, she would have jumped out of the mud pit of the Gu family by then, and then she would have had the opportunity to become a marquis's wife.

That’s right, after Chen Yuan thought about Shen Rong’s bad luck, he had this idea.

After all, she and Changsheng grew up together, and she was the daughter of an earl. No matter how you look at it, she was more qualified to be the wife of a marquis than Shen Rong, a genuine country girl.

The more Chen Yuan thought about it, the more he felt that this was a good idea.

Even though Changsheng has no job now, as long as she becomes the consort of a marquis and asks her father and brothers for help, she will have no problem becoming an official.

The more Chen Yuan thought about it, the more feasible it seemed to her. Even the silly face of Changsheng that she had in mind began to look more pleasing to her.

After all, Changsheng is not stupid anymore.

But what if Shen Rong can’t die?

As soon as this question came up, she immediately had the answer in her mind.

Even if you can't die, you have to die!

Chen Yuan was not worried that she would not have the chance to take action. After all, she was Shen Rong's best friend now!

However, before that, the old witch had to die first.

After Chen Yuan left, other guests arrived soon. This time it was the wife of a wealthy businessman. Shen Rong did not neglect her and entertained her and talked to her for a while before letting the maid take her in.

The banquet held at the Pingyang Marquis' Mansion was very successful.

Baiweilou’s dim sum, various fresh juices and fresh fruits are very appetizing.

The various flowers and plants in the mansion also feasted the eyes of the guests, and many people even came to ask how the flower wall was made.

Shen Rong replied that these were all taken care of by the gardeners in the mansion. If anyone wanted to build a flower wall, just ask the gardeners in the mansion.

The banquet at the Pingyang Marquis Mansion was well organized and displayed the style of a great man under the arrangement of the four departments and six bureaus.

Because the banquet was so well organized, those who originally wanted to watch the joke secretly now gave up the idea of ​​watching the joke.

For a moment, no one could find fault with Shen Rong, the marquis' wife who was born a peasant girl.

People should look presentable, behave properly, and have good manners.

The key is that the food at the banquet is delicious.

Yes, it is delicious.

Especially the fruits and vegetables, they taste unexpectedly good.

The fruits and vegetables used in the banquet were all prepared by Shen Rong according to the menu given by the Fourth Division, and they tasted delicious.

It is said that one's mouth will be soft when eating. After eating such delicious food, no one has the face to find fault with the host. For a while, only praises could be heard.

Shen Rong was originally worried that little Chen and her niece might cause trouble, but she didn't expect that Chen Zhier would do her best to help entertain the young girl that day and made a lot of efforts, which made the lady look at her with new eyes.

Shen Rong thought about it for a moment and understood. No matter what other people planned, on days like this, the most important thing was to do her job well and let people see her abilities.

Time passed quickly and it was time for the guests to leave the house. Shen Rong followed the agreement with the housekeeper and gave six big watermelons to every guest who came.

The watermelons haven't started to be sold yet, but those who came to the banquet were all very happy after taking the watermelons.

Chen Yuan also received six big watermelons. She looked at the big green watermelons in front of her and, relying on her relationship with Shen Rong, asked for a basket of peaches.

Watermelon and peaches are a perfect match.

When the two ladies of the Zhou family left, Shen Rong not only sent six melons to Mrs. Zhou, but also gave two pots of flowers to each of the two sisters.

That flower was exactly the one the two sisters wore on their heads.

When the two sisters saw the flowers, they were so happy that they couldn't help themselves.

"Aunt, can this flower grow into a flower wall?" Wan'er looked at Shen Rong with sparkling eyes.

Shen Rong nodded, "If it is properly cared for, it can grow into a flower wall."

"But what if the gardener in our house doesn't know how to do it?" Yao'er did not forget what Gong Le'an said.

Gong Le'an said that the flower wall needs careful care and some traction before it can grow into a flower wall.

Shen Rong patted the heads of the two clever kids and said, "Tomorrow I'll ask the gardener to go to your house and help tidy up the flowers. By then they will grow into a flower wall."

The flowers that Shen Rong sent were not small, and a wooden stick was inserted into the flowerpot for support. Such large branches could barely be used to make a flower wall.

"Thank you, auntie!" Upon hearing this, the two sisters hurriedly thanked Shen Rong, and then followed their mother into the carriage.

After the guests left, Shen Rong had nothing to do.

The cleanup work will be done not only by the people from the Sixth Bureau, but also by the servants in the mansion.

The others were also watched by the butler.

Shen Rong took the two siblings back to Guiyuan.

This job of smiling and greeting people is much more tiring than going up the mountain to collect herbs.

The people who had the most leisure on this day were probably the two maids who stayed in Guiyuan to look after the yard.

After a tiring day, Shen Rong returned to Guiyuan and felt a little envious of the two old women.

After Chen Yuan returned home with the fruits, he delivered the fruits directly to the main room where Liu lived.

"Mother, these watermelons were sent by the Pingyang Marquis's Mansion. They are sold for five taels of silver each in the shop! Mother has not tasted them yet. These are all given to you."

"What! Five taels of silver for one? Is this a golden gourd?" Liu looked at Chen Yuan in surprise, and it took her a while to react, "Give me all of this?"

Chen Yuan nodded in agreement.

When Liu saw that Chen Yuan gave her all six valuable watermelons, she rarely smiled at Chen Yuan.

"Zhaoming goes out early and comes back late every day. Let's put these watermelons in the well and wait for him to come back to eat them!" Liu's eyes sparkled as she looked at the big watermelons.

General Chen Yuan was too lazy to smile at Liu and said, "Mom, this watermelon is so big, even if you eat as much as you want now, you can't finish it.

What's more, there are six melons here! Zhaoming will not be left without food, after all, we have a small family, right?

Besides, the melon cannot be eaten in a short time and will spoil easily. It would be a pity to throw it away.”

As she said this, she asked Luzhu to put the basket of peaches next to the watermelons. "These are honey peaches. I brought them back specially to show you the difference between the peaches here and those in Taohua Village."

Seeing Chen Yuan being so filial, Liu was secretly proud of herself. This woman was really cheap and she had to be beaten severely so that she wouldn't dare to ride on a man's head and pee and shit.

"You are thoughtful." Liu raised her chin slightly and glanced at the peach that was bigger than her fist. Her brows slightly frowned. This peach looked more delicious than the peaches in the countryside of Taohua Village.

But during the years she lived in Taohua Village, the thing she ate the most was peaches, and she had long since grown tired of them.

Even though these peaches were from the capital, Liu was not very interested. "Just leave two of these peaches for me, and share the rest with others!"

Chen Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly.

This was a wrong decision. The old guy doesn't like eating peaches. I'm afraid he was hurt by the peaches he ate in Taohua Village before.

However, she had already prepared something else, and pairing watermelon with peaches was just a spur-of-the-moment idea.

"Then I'll take it." Chen Yuan didn't say anything. He asked Luzhu to distribute the peaches to others and only left two for Liu.

Seeing that Chen Yuanru was talking after eating, Liu didn't hesitate to ask the maid to move all six big watermelons back to the room where the food was.

Then, after Chen Yuan left the building, she hid in the house and ate watermelon alone.

Shen Rong told others that this batch of watermelons were picked from the farm, but in fact they were planted overnight by Changsheng. The taste is so good that everyone who has tasted it can't stop eating it.

Not to mention people like Liu who were eating watermelon for the first time, they had no resistance at all.

She ate a watermelon weighing nearly 20 kilograms by herself.

It was not until she was full that she came to her senses and stopped eating the melon.

When Gu Zhaoming came back for dinner, Liu was so full that she couldn't eat anymore.

However, she did not forget to let her son taste the watermelon.

After the meal, Liu opened another watermelon. Gu Zhaoming was more restrained and only ate half of it.

Seeing that only half of the watermelon was left, Mrs. Liu was reluctant to give it to others, but she was afraid it would go bad if she left it alone.

Coincidentally, the watermelon in her stomach had been mostly digested after she had gone to the toilet several times, and she was afraid that she would not be able to eat watermelon again for long.

Therefore, Liu did not suggest sharing the melon with others.

Gu Zhaoming mentioned it and asked Chen Yuan and Qu Lian to share it.

Chen Yuan hurriedly said that he had already eaten at Pingyang Marquis's Mansion and did not want to eat anymore.

Seeing Liu's reluctant expression, Qu Lian hurriedly shook her head and refused, "I have never liked eating melons since I was a child. Please don't ruin this good thing for me."

The reason why she is not bullied by her mistress now is because Liu protects her. Qu Lian will not offend Liu for a few bites of melon.

Seeing that no one wanted it, Liu's smile deepened and she quickly took the melon back into the room.

Chen Yuan looked at Liu's back and couldn't help but smile.

At that time, watermelon was not yet popular, and ordinary people did not know that they should not eat too much of it.

Liu just thought that this was an extremely expensive melon, so she was naturally unwilling to give it to others, even if she was full.

At night, Liu ate most of the watermelon before going to bed.

The meal was so bad that it gave me a stomachache.

This quarrel lasted all night.

That night, she ran back and forth between the main room and the toilet in the first half of the night. In the second half of the night, she could no longer run to the toilet, so she defecated directly in the toilet in the house. Not only did she make the whole house stink, but she also became exhausted.

As a rural woman who has lived in poverty for most of her life, when I feel unwell, I don’t think of seeing a doctor the first time. I just want to endure it and it will get better.

Liu is such a person.

After enduring it all night, she was too weak to get out of bed the next day.
